Short Shifter

So i know about the DIY prelude short shifter for our cars.. but does that actually shorten the throw as well as the height?

Is there any aftermarket companies that make short shifters for our car? B&M? skunk2?

Not realy a great deal if at all. I did this mod about 2 days ago and after a day of "feeling" i orderd a Pspec. 210 dollars realy hits hard for something of this nature .....but it should be worth it.

If you on a budget...get forbidden

Pspec feels awesome.. throws are definitely shorter than stock and it shifts smooth yet firm.

I personally think it was worth the money... now the only thing is finding out if i can switch out the shift knob if I ever get bored with the one that comes with the shifter

right now i have a 400g RAZO shift knob and it doesnt fit because the it threads up too high in the knob and the boot gets in the way so the threads of the shifter dont even reach the threads of the knob. dont know if that makes sense, all in all, it doesnt fit

got your PM. well i dont know what help I can be. ive only had the stock shifter and then the prelude one. Ive never had a 4bidden/pspec. I can saw for damn sure that there is a good height difference between the two. I posted comparisson pics in my DIY. Dont really notice a difference in the throws though. but shit. $10 vs. $200+ it was a deal I couldnt pass up.
